Comment on Gone too soon: Coping with the loss of a young pet by Vinny.
I lost my dear working dog Mia. She had just turned 5. She was waiting patiently behind me while we were at work and helped retrieve the neighbour’s stray lamb off the road. She was only 1 metre behind me. As I shut the gate and turned around my co worker was speeding up the road and did not see us. He was not looking at the road and had his body turned the opposite direction looking at my qaud bike with the other dogs on it. Mia was not on the road but was dangerously close so I called her in panic. Which went against me as she ended up looking his way and walked backwards out of panic and met him exactly as he past. I watched her be run over right in front of me. It was the most heart breaking and traumatic experience I’ve ever faced. She was my best dog, my best friend and I loved her very much. The pain of this loss so sudden and out of my control is herendous to work through, I imagined her growing old with me. Never imagined losing her this way so unfairly
